HostMonster WHOIS Privacy:
HostMonster offers free WHOIS privacy on every domain registered with them or transferred to them (this means transfer of registration, not simply pointing DNS to HostMonster). WHOIS privacy protects your personal information from people who attempt to discover it through a WHOIS lookup.

HostMonster Database Options:
HostMonster allows 100 MySQL databases and 100 PostgreSQL databases per account. MySQL databases are used for running software such as Wordpress or Drupal on your website. This limits a user’s MySQL-using sites to 100 (though they may host unlimited domains which don’t use databases). However, this will not affect most users.
